Heart Pearls
Susan is not Susi

Susan was sitting on a bench in the city park.

The atmosphere of the park looks crowded. Today is a normal Sunday if people want to spend the weekend with family.

Kids run here and there. Some are just walking - walking, some are cycling casually, some are just sitting with a girlfriend, family or friends. There are even those who just sit and enjoy solitude. Just like he does now.

He has a lover but he has no lover.

For a few months, Riko rarely took him to walk on Sunday. Riko always reasoned busy, busy and busy.

Susan tried to understand and understand it.

Their relationship is final - the end is not good. Since that fight they have never met again.

Actually he wanted to explain everything to Riko. But at the moment Riko is very difficult to contact.

He just waited for the right time to talk to her.

Susan came out of her daydream. A ball hit his foot. Take that ball. He looked to the right and to the left looking for the owner of the ball.

"Miss can I have the ball?"

The little boy ran towards him.

"May you love."

Susan gave the ball to the boy.

"Thank you pretty aunt."

"Same - same darling."

Susan sat back down.

He took his cell phone and dialed a number.

"Where are you?"

"I'm still in the hospital."

"Has Dandi's father not healed yet?"

"Not San."

"Yes, I'm there now. All of you look at it."

Susan walked out of the park.

Before going to the hospital, he stopped by the fruit shop. He chose fresh fruit to carry.

A middle-aged woman was watching him.

She slowly approached Susan. Susan was astonished to see the woman's attitude towards him.

The woman held her cheeks with both hands and observed from top to bottom. Implied a deep longing in the eyes of the woman. Susan remained silent.

Suddenly the woman hugged him and cried. Susan was shocked by what she was going through right now. Susan let the woman hold her until her tears subsided.

The woman let go of her embrace and went back to holding Susan's cheek.

"Mommy misses you Susi."

"Sorry Madam. Maybe you got the wrong guy. My name is Susan not Susi."

"No. Mama can't be wrong, son. Did you forget about mom?"

"Sorry Madam. I don't recognize you."

The middle-aged man approached them.

The man looked at Susan.

But he still controls himself.

He pulled his wife.

"Pa...Susi's back Pa." said the woman to her husband.

"No way Ma. Maybe we got the wrong guy"

"I'm sorry Mr and Mrs, excuse me first."

Susan bowed respectfully and left the two men behind.

They were still staring at Susan's departure.

Susan walked down the hospital corridor. His mind was still on that middle-aged woman.

Who's the lady? Who's Susi? Do I look like his son?

A myriad of questions raged in his mind. This is not the only time she has been called Susi.

Tok tok tok tok

"Susan you've come?"

"Yes"

Susan came in closer to Dandi's father.

"Good morning om. How is Om today ?"

"It's better, son. Who are you here with?"

"Om Own. Here's Om I brought fruit for om."

"Thank you, son."

"Same - same Om."

Susan was in the hospital for almost an hour.

"Sane...How's your relationship with Riko?"

"bad"

"Are you not well?"

"Not yet"

Susan recounted the events of the day after Mela left her at the mall.

"Are you going to leave the company?"

"No"

"Will Riko understand?"

"Entahlah Mel. I'm confused myself. If we had to break up, maybe he wasn't my soul mate."

"Are you sure San?"

"Not really. I still hope our relationship is good again."

Susan says goodbye home.

Riku ...

"Hello Riko"

"Where are you?"

"I'm on the road"

"Where from?"

"From the hospital. Look at Dandi's father."

"I'm at your house right now. I'm waiting for."

Closed phone.

Susan got out of the cab. He saw Riko sitting on the porch of the house.

"Right.."

"Are you okay?"

"I'm good"

"Riko. yesterday's problem." he continued.

"It doesn't need to be discussed anymore. I get it."

"Are you not angry with me anymore?"

"No. I miss you" he said, reaching for Susan's hand.

"Richo....I miss you too."

Susan hugged Riko happily.

"Have you eaten?" ask Riko.

"Not yet."

"What if we eat out? We haven't enjoyed Sunday together in a long time. I want to spend this day with you."

"Are you serious?"

"Do you doubt me?"

"No."

After eating Riko took Susan mesh - a leisurely walk. They join together like a pair of lovers, yes they are indeed a pair of lovers who just referred back.

"I won't tell you to quit Aldo's company again."

Susan stared intently at Riko looking for the truth on her face.

"Why are you looking at me like that?. If you continue like that, I'll kiss you here."

Susan hit the man's arm slowly.

"Aren't you kidding me with that?"

"No. I seriously. I realized I couldn't be selfish. I can't be separated from you. I love you."

"Thank you Riko. I love you too."

They sat under a tree by the clear flowing river.

Susan leaned her head against Riko's shoulder.

Today he can feel happy to spend the day with his girlfriend.

"Is your job done?"

"It has. Just a little more ending."

"So when are we going on vacation together?"

"How about next month to Bali?. I'll book a tour ticket."

"Are you serious?"

"Yes"

Susan was happy to hear Riko.

Riko gently stroked the hair of the girl next to her.

Susan does not think that Riko can change her mind and does not forbid her from working at Aldo's company.

But he still did not believe it completely.

How is it possible in the not-too-distant future - Riko changed her mind ?

What is Riko planning ?

Is that really true from his heart ?

For now Susan doesn't want to think about it.

Right now he just wanted to enjoy his cooperation with Riko.

Enjoying the time of two who have been seized because of work.

Riko is not a selfish person. During the courtship she never forced her will on Susan. He is an understanding, loving and patient man.

Susan herself had never refuted Riko's remarks before.

But somehow since Riko often overtime he felt something different about Riko.

He was unable to make time for lunch together. Previously they often had lunch in office break hours.

Riko often picks up Susan when she comes home from work and takes her for a walk even if it's just eating meatballs.

Until now Susan never put any suspicions at all on Riko. She believes that Riko loves her.

The day is getting late.

Riko took Susan home.

"Richo..Thanks for today."

"Same - same darling."

"You're heart-heart on the road!"

"definitely. You also need to take care of your health!"

"I Love You" he continued

"I Love You too."

Riko drives her car out of Susan's house.
